I can agree with it for elderly people and/or people with a sever chronic condition who have little to keep suffering for. But for younger people with "fixable" problem I would hope we first male sure they get all the support they could need and want before euthanasia becomes an option. I know we aren't anywhere close pretty much anywhere in the world, but in the interim until we get there? I don't know, be angry at politicians and voters until they stop gutting public health care maybe.

I would personally recommend popos or mint. I have varying amount of experience with the others.

Bazzite is very hyped on Lemmy, I don't quite understand how it works, it seems good for what it is, but I don't know if I would recommend it as someone's first Linux daily driver.

Manjaro seems great most of the time, until the maintainers mess something up and royally screw up your system. But that's just things I've heard, your milage will vary.

Nobara worked really well for me, but ultimately I wasn't very comfortable to use a distro maintained by one guy, even if that guy is glorious egg roll.

I personally use popos. I wish it was fedora based like Nobara, but you can't have it all. Wow works straight out the box. There are appimages or deb packages for warcraft logs and curse as well, so they work fine.

That's something that bothers me in the UK. Many businesses are ran out of terrace houses. Especially dentists. They can look alright on the inside, but it really gave me the ick when looking for one and only seeing a dingy row of houses on google maps.

Pen and paper maths I'm pretty decent at, but ask me to calculate anything in my head and it's anyone's guess if I remembered to carry the 1 or not. Ever since learning about aphantasia I'm wondering if the lack of being able to visually store values has something to do with it.

Looks like Warzone is one of the unfortunate ones, the kernel level anti cheat currently stops it from working on Linux.

Reka (added to my wishlist 😄) seems to run well. If it will run straight out the box or not seems to be a little hit and miss. You can check any troubleshooting steps on protondb. This shows Linux isn't quite at the "it just works" stage. But for this title if you do run into an issue it seems like an easy fix.

Cyberpunk runs really well. I haven't had to tweak anything for my install.

I have a very extensive steam, gog, and battle.net library with all kinda of games from wolfenstein 3D to Baulders Gate 3. The only game I haven't been able to run is Ground Control 2, but that doesn't work on windows 10 (possible a USB device issue). Unless you play a game with an anti cheat that explicitly deny Linux (the only one I know off the top of my head that does that is Fortnite) you are most likely good to go. I'm quite a performance/fps snobb, and I haven't found any game that runs worse on Linux either.

There's a difference between lossy and lossless. You can compress anything down to a single bit if you so wish, just don't expect to get everything back. That's how lossy compression works.

Right, that makes it a bit easier to go that route. Now I just need to secure a decent domain name that's easy to spell out over the phone ^^

I got a question about custom domains for email. I know getting trust if you host your own email server is a difficult thing to do. When you use a custom domain on for example tuta, are you piggy backing off of their trust as a email server, or do you run into the same issue?

Funnily enough that is the exact situation I got. Parents started paying for Spotify almost 2 decades ago, and the great people they are have just kept it going since for me. I do have a YouTube premium (I know this is a bit frowned upon on Lemmy) sub going, but YouTube Music just doesn't quite function the way I want it to.

It's kinda offical but not quite. It's ported over and distributed by some Spotify engineers who wants to use it for Linux, but as far as I can tell, officially as a company Spotify don't support Linux as a platform. Source: https://www.spotify.com/us/download/linux/

Wow, that's a fantastic write up! Very cool to hear from someone who has used all the major platforms. I'm leaning towards Tidal, but they all seem to work quite well for everyone in here. I think what I'm going to do is dedicate a month to each service, write down my experiences with it, and go from there. Deezer has the free trial, so could start with that. Some other people in this thread has noted about the non-sorting of downloaded tracks and other questionable UI choices, so I'll keep an eye out for that.

I didn't expect to find any native apps, even Spotify's client is an unoffical distribution, but I'm glad to hear they all have something available at least. I'm intrigued by Cider, seems like one hell of a project.
